Chapter 129 Compassion

Ye Shuzhi said nothing when Ye Shuzhen spoke loudly, yet in just over ten days, she was to be married.

Marriage was inescapable, the elder sister could rely on her parental home, and perhaps she might have to rely on it too, knowing the most critical person not to offend in the parental home was the elder brother.

Hongji thought of today's attempts to ask his mother for money to buy gifts each time he wanted to speak, each time he was interrupted by his mother, and as of now had yet to receive even one cent. He whispered to the children:

"I am happy to see your maternal grandfather tomorrow, but unfortunately, your father hasn't yet managed to get even one cent from your grandmother to buy gifts. We can't go empty-handed, alas...!"

The words of Hongji made the children who understood his words lose their smiles, and they too lowered their heads, looking dejected, except for Ye Shiqi, who steadily gazed at her father.
